THE FISHERY BUSINESS.

A Protest Against Highly Colored Re-
ports Sent from Canada.
New YoRK, August Am Ottawa special
to the Herald says: The department of
fisheries was Tuesday notified of the sci
zure of two American sloops, "The Fanny"
and "James A. Garfield" They were
caught in Quoddy river, New Brunswick,
bound for Eastport, Me-, with cargo of
herring, and had neither entered or cleared
at any Canadian custom house. Pend
ing the receipt of further particulars,
the department gave instructions
to release the vessels on the deposit of a
small fine. In referring to the fisheries
question yesterday morning the deputy
minister of fisheries expressed his regret
at the statements frequently communi-
Gated to the American press with refer
ence to the recent seizure or detention of
American fishing vessels were not of
more accurate character. 1t is made to
appear from the statements pub
lished in American papers that crews
of the escaped vessels, Colonel
j. H. French and Argonaut, brought to
Stouris by the Canada cruiser Critic,
we're not we'll treated and also that trans
portation to their homes in other fishing
vessels had been denied them. These
statements, the deputy says, are incor-
rect.
In regard to the first, the collector Of
customs at Stouris, was instructed
by the fisheries department, Immediately
upon being advised of seizure of boats
and seins and the detention of the crews,
to see that the men were properly taken
care of and supplied with food and other
necessaries.
With regard to the second charge, the
deputy said that the collector was IN
structed that the men should be allowed
TO 60 on homeward bound vessel, IL the
American consular agent at Stouris would
give an assurance that men would not be
put on board of escaped vessels. 1t would
appear that prior to the receipt of these

The Doodle Trial.

CHICAGO, August Expectations were
that by to night We rdict would be reached
in the Doodle case, which was dismissed
this morning by the jury, several of whom
were severely indispossd and requested an
early adjournment. 1t was agreed that
only Mr.. Hardy for the defense, and Cen
eral Stiles for the prosecution, should
speak to-day, the final addresses being re-
served for tomorrow, when Alexander
Sullivan would be heard. States Attorney
Grinnell and Mr.. Hardy maintained that
the defendants were on trial for con-
spiracy and not corruption, and that the
conspiracy had not been proven.

CANADA.
A TEXAS FORTUNE.

ST. JOHN, N. B., August 4.-Edward
Beane, an old man living near this place,
is investigating the merits of claim to
an estate worth one million dollars, left in
Texas by man named Thomas Beans,
who, he is confident, is his long unheard-
of brother. Thomas Beans divided his
millions among the negroes on his estate,
on condition that no heirs were found.
The Beans formerly belonged in Freder-
lckston, and Thomas left for Texas fifty
years ago. Edward Beans is now 75 years
of age, but has family who would inherit
the property, should it be found to belong
to the family.

More Fanaticism.

BosToN, August "A large meeting of
white and colored citizens was held this
evening to protest against the enactment
of the bill recently passed by the Georgia
house of representatives prohibiting the
mingling of white and black pupils in the
same schools. Resolutions we're adopted
declaring the bill unconstitutional, and
likely 80 call down the judgment of
heaven on the heads of the people of
Georgia.

KENTUCKY ELECTION.
--latest Estimates of the Race Betwee
Buckner and Bradley.

--latest Estimates of the Race Between
Buckner and Bradley.
LOUISVILLE, August A very fair idea
of the election situation is contained in
the estimate of the Courier-J ournal, which
says:
additional returns this morning do not
give any Indications of ground swell.
AS far as We can judge, the democratic
losses are due to confidence and indiffer-
ence in our party, and unusually good
organization on the part of the republi-
cans. The republicans voted and the
democrats stayed at home. Our returns
are from fifty-six counties, which cast 60
per cent. of the whole vote of the state.
These fifty-six counties show q loss from
CIeveland's majority 34,S39) of 7,710. If
the ratio of gains and losses continues the
same for the remaining 40 per cont, the
net democratic loss vii! be 1850, leaving
Buckner u majority over Bradley of
22000. The republicans are claiming
better things than this from the mountain
counties. If the majority is not as large
ns oar predictions the democrats have
only themselves { blame"
The Commercials summary is as fol-
lows:
Seventy-,ipht Counties have reported,
so for, leaving Al to report. The average
gaia per county, IRON reports so far re-
celved, is 325. Ga the same ratio, the net
republican gain of the whole state will be
3S,675. This will leave majority for
Buckner, counting the majority for Knott
at A 400, of 5,725. The gross republican
gain, SO far as heard from, is 25,000. Six
counties show democratic gain of 600,
leaving the net republican gain of 24,4O0.
BRADLEY CLAIMS IT.
CINCINNATI, August A Louisville spe-
cial just received says news from seventy
three counties show gains of $4,000 for
Bradley (republican) candidate for gov
ernor, and that the remaining counties,
which are more strongly republican, will
probably elect him, if the proportions of
the gains hold out. Fox, prohibitionist,
will probably get $4,000 voters. The
democrats have reduced their claim to
5000 majority for Buckner. Only the Of
fetal count can remove the present uncer-
tainity. w. o. Bradley, republican candi-
date for governor wires: 81 am elected
governor of Kentucky by 5,000."

ROANOKE, Va, August 4.-The demo-
cratic state convention assembled at 12
o'clock. Hon. John s. Barbour chairman
of the state executive committee, called
the convention to order. After loud calls,
Mr.. Barbour arose and addressed the con-
vention. He said the calling of demo
cratic convention was always in order
In the state, but there was
great opposition to this; but it was too
obvious that convention was necessary
on account of the momentous questions
involved. He said the question before the
people of Virginia was division of opin-
ion on the debt question, which was the
greatest party question that presented
itself. He said the difference of opinion
could be better determined in the party,
and counseled harmony and dispassionate
discussion of all the issues involved.

McGarigle Surrounded.

CHICAGO, August 4.-Sheriff Matson and
Inspector Bonaford received some pleas
ing intelligence by dispatches from Can
ada last evening. They refused to allow
them to be seen, but their purport was
definitely settled. McGarigle will be prose-
cuted at Montreal, and it was certain that
his arrest by the Canadian authorities was
a question of short time. That section of
the country In which he was hiding yester-
day was closely patrolled, end he would
not get out of it as easy he passed through
the straits of Mackanow.

A S45,ooo Failure.

ELMIRA, N. Y, August A. A special
from Bath, N. Y, says: j. d j. O. Robie,
dry goods and notions, of which
Jonathan Robbie is the senior member,
made general assignment this morning,
without preference. Before the paper was
filed numerous real estate mortgages of
various debts, aggregating $4,000, we're
received in the county clerks office; also a
chattel mortgage of about $4,000. 1t is
impossible to get the liabilities. The fail
ure is supposed to be brought about by
Robes shortage in the Soldiers home ao-
count.

Suicide of a Brute,

New ORLEANS, August A terrible
domestic tragedy occurred yesterday at
Bay st. Louis, Miss. John Ladner, in a
fit of jealousy, beat his wife almost to
death with heavy stick. When his wife,
covered with blood which flowed from a
dozen severe cuts on the head and neck,
had fallen apparently lifeless at his feet,
he picked up pair of scissors and drove
one of the blades through his own heart,
causing instant death. Mrs. Ladner's re-
covery is doubtful.
